What about making a Dalek a companion, in a bid to teach the Doctor that anyone, even his greatest enemies, can be reconstituted to being a worthwhile individual.

Hate is what motivates a Dalek. A Dalek who doesn't behave like a Dalek would hate himself even more.

You undermine your own point - most of the characters you mention are that way because of the opportunity to travel with the Doctor. Amy was an independent, confident and competent girl before she met the Doctor, and continues to be so.

I can't imagine you would refer to River Song, Donna or Martha as a 'girl' and the fact that you do so about a married woman opens up everything I find wrong with the character. The fact that she was suddenly proficient in swordsmanship further suggests that she is just unrealistic.

I think you are grabbing straws now. |

as long as they arent those fat-arsed-telltubby daleks then they're the originals in my book
quite right. They were all just tweaks of the basic model in my mind too. Until they said tubbybyebye. I thought I would have a go at being a pedantic Doctor Who history expert for a bit. But I notice it can get on peoples nerves. Btw, I always suspected the Ogrons stopped appearing because the Planet of the Apes franchise raised their eyebrows.

At the risk of doing my bit to turn this thread into a iDalek hate thread, it should be noted that the mysterious panel at the back of last years chosen exterminators was in the original design of 1963 (OK, a round panel was).

The first Dalek episode of New Who was brilliant. The Dalek was actually menacing, properly evil, utterly hellbent on complete genocide - until the final twist on the formula.
That said, from that point on ; what Russell T Davis did to the Daleks was utterly unforgivable. He neutered them. From being the most fearsome neo-nazi-esque race in all of existence... to being little more than prissy, petulant, wheely-bins - all of whom are easily foiled at the touch of a button. Unless Moffat plans to make the Daleks truly nasty again - there's no point in them returning. Just let RTD's mistakes be forgotten (scour the world of all trace of Apple iDaleks) - and let the legend of the Daleks build till someone worthy takes over writing duties. |

I only have one question - how do the daleks build their shells and ships?
They don't have hands and definately don't have opposable thumbs - have they enslaved another race? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6CcxJQq1x8 Being time travellers the Daleks artifically bypassed the normal course of feline evolution, thus giving the kitties what they want in exchange for forever helping the daleks!...

They could make a prequel to Genesis of the Daleks where we see Davros pre-accident. We could see him develop prototype Daleks, though they're not called that and the Doctor can't let on that he knows how their future development turns out.

I'd like to see a story where the 'New Dalek Paradigm' idea has gone badly wrong and the Daleks are embroiled in a civil war (iDaleks v 'old' Daleks). One side or the other (or maybe both) needs to find a way to trick, persuade or coerce the Doctor into helping them eliminate the other side. Could be an unusual dilemma for the Doctor; he'll want to destroy the Daleks, but in doing so would help the other Dalek faction...

the Daleks now have certain roles (drone, eternity dalek etc.) so that's probably where the production team will head. But it is stated that the Daleks will be given a break this series.
